Answer 1

The sentence pattern in the given sentence is S-LV-PA, where the subject is 'archery, shooting, and fencing' and the predicate adjective is 'all Olympic sports'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence pattern in the given sentence is S-LV-PA.

The subject of the sentence is 'archery, shooting, and fencing', which acts as a compound subject. The linking verb 'are' connects the subject to the predicate adjective 'all Olympic sports'. This pattern is known as S-LV-PA because the subject is followed by a linking verb and a predicate adjective.
